How to apply for a long-term visa in Thailand What are the requirements for a long-term visa in Thailand?

In fact, it is really troublesome to apply for a visa every time you travel. When you go to Thailand, you should feel how troublesome it is to get a visa. What is a once-and-for-all solution? This method is to apply for a permanent visa. Let's take a look.

Path 1: Work visa is the most common way. There is only one condition, that is, you can find a formal job in Thailand, and the company should be willing to help you apply for a work visa (at least, you should be willing to provide relevant materials).

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to find a job if you know Thai and have low salary requirements, but it is not so easy to find a good job, which is no different from that in China. However, it should be noted that many companies are reluctant to help them apply for work visas, because this will increase the company's extra costs, so be sure to ask about the company when looking for a job.

General handling method: you can come to Thailand with a tourist visa or a business visa, and then you must first apply for a work permit, and then go to the immigration office to apply for a work permit with a work permit and related materials. All expenses are within 1000 yuan.

Path 2: Students sign student visas. I know there are three situations. The first is regular international students, such as exchange students in universities. In this case, the school will naturally help you get a visa, needless to say.

Secondly, the local language school in Thailand can help you apply for a student visa. Of course, you may not really study, which is equivalent to paying money. However, this method is a policy sideswipe. After the Bangkok bombings, Thailand's management of foreigners' entry and exit became stricter. This practice is being severely cracked down, and the short-term feasibility estimate is very low.

The third is to send children to school, including kindergartens, primary schools or middle schools. In this way, students can sign in advance in China and then come to Thailand. The general way to deal with the third situation: first of all, of course, you must find the school where you are studying, ask the school to provide you with relevant information, and then apply to the Thai Consulate in China. The cost should not be very expensive.

Path 3: Look at the visa of relatives according to the name signed by the relatives, but this relative is limited to immediate family members. For example, if one spouse has a Thai work visa, the other spouse can apply for a pro-visa, or if the child is studying in Thailand and the student signs, the parents can also apply for a pro-visa, but only for one parent.

According to the individual visa, it can be handled at home or in Thailand. The information required for face-to-face signature is more complicated, because it involves kinship, and it is necessary to provide various notarized and double-certified kinship certificates, such as marriage certificate, child's birth certificate, kinship certificate and so on. When you apply, you will apply for a temporary visa for three months first, and then go to the immigration office to change it into a one-year dependent visa before the expiration of three months. The required fee is about 500 yuan RMB (excluding materials notarization and authentication fees).

Path 4: As long as you are over 50 years old and have a certain amount of funds (like 800,000 baht or more than RMB 14W) in a local bank in Thailand, you can apply for a pension sign. The specific treatment process is unknown.

Path 5: I don't need to say more about the wedding sign. As long as people who can read should understand it, I don't think most people should use it.

To sum up, so far, I know there are five ways to get a long-term visa to Thailand. In fact, many people stay in Thailand for a long time by leaving the country every three months on business visas. But Thailand attaches great importance to whether what you do in China meets the visa requirements. In other words, if your business visa is just a gimmick, and you only stay for other things through this visa, then once it is discovered, it will be troublesome, especially in the current crackdown period, so this is not a really legal way.

The so-called long-term visa is not permanent. Basically, they are all one-year visas, and they must be renewed before they expire. And generally speaking, it is not allowed to leave the country within one year by default. If you need to leave the country and come back halfway, you can go through the return formalities at the exit-entry office before leaving the country (the fee is unknown). If you need multiple round trips, you can apply for an entry and exit permit again (the cost is 3800 baht).

Thailand's policies will also change frequently and will be implemented at will. The specific requirements of different cities and even different outlets in the same city will be different. Therefore, if you have the conditions, you must be clear about the materials and procedures required by the local immigration bureau.

These are just a few ways I know to stay in Thailand for a long time, for reference only. As for whether Thailand is good or not, it is a matter of opinion whether it is worth coming to work, study and live in Thailand. Everyone has different answers. I think only what suits me is the best.
